Exact source claims and related context are never blended together.
This hierarchy shows why a use appears beside the preparation. The strongest relationship comes first; contextual links remain explicitly labeled.
The preparation remains searchable as an archival method record without an invented indication.

Method as extracted
- Macerate according to the source passage: The natvire of Gargles must depend upon the symptoms which they are designed to relieve ; they may be astringent, demulcent, or cooling, according to the requirements of the case ; if there is inflammation of the tonsils, a simple Warm Water or Gruel Gargle, with a little Vinegar, is perhaps the best to begin with ; a common domestic form is Sage Tea and Vinegar, and this is very good : when the in- flammation becomes more chronic, and there is much phlegm about the throat, the Gargle must be more stimulating and astringent ; therefore, add to 6 ounces of Infusion of Roses, 1 drachm of Dilute Svilphuric Acid, and the same of Tincture of Capsicum, and use frequently : if there is relaxed uvula, dissolve 1 drachm of Alum in ^ a pint of hot water, add 2 drachms of Tincture of Myrrh, and use; for chronic weakness, with 314 THE FAMILY DOCTOR : frequent tendency to inflammatory swelling, ga-j^le with Decoction of Oak Bark, or a weak solution of Common Salt every inoi'n- ing : if there is ulceration of the fauces, the following is a good form: Take of Re- fined Saltpetre 2 drachms ; dissolve in 6 ounces of Plain or Rose Water, and add Honey 4 drachms.
Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, title ingredient mismatch, not marked promotable. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
External use only
This boundary permits external context only. Do not convert it into an internal preparation.
- Unreviewed automated import: this record is public for live editorial inspection and has not passed manual identity, formula or safety review.
- Historical formula: ingredient identity, strength, contamination risk and terminology may differ from modern practice.
- Do not use this record as dosage or treatment guidance. Every ingredient, route and contraindication requires qualified editorial verification.
- The historical use wording does not establish modern clinical effectiveness.
Primary wording. Visible interpretation. No borrowed certainty.
The public record separates the historical passage, structured preparation data, use relationship and modern safety boundary. Same-plant context is presented as context, never as proof that this preparation was intended for that use.
